In reply to: [Visual Form Builder] Does “File Upload” create a security vulnerability?Shane, many thanks for your response, but I don’t quite understand. Are you saying the Pro version has more security than the free version? Where is this explained on your website? Is the File Upload function on the Pro version different from the free version?
Thanks, much!

In reply to: [Visual Form Builder] Spam getting throughI also have been getting spam on my Visual Form Builder form for the past few days. I have VFB on several sites, but (so far) I’m only getting the spam on one of them. Seems to be coming from Ukraine, based on the IP.
Gary,
Did you ever happen to find a plugin that would accomplish what you need? I’m using Divi 2.4 and want to display a portion of a specific page (or it could be a post) in a specific module. I’d love to find a plugin with a shortcode that I could insert in a home page module, with a read-more link to the full page.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Yahoo Hosting Permalinks FailJames, after goofing around with this for two days, and just getting ready to give up and look for a job at McDonald’s, it hit me that there’s a much simpler solution.
If you install WP through the Yahoo control panel and follow their instructions, the permalinks work right. I did that.
Then I just imported an XML file of my content, uploaded my theme and child theme and have been copying over settings, etc. and I’m almost up and running with the right site in the right place and with the right URL structure.
Normally this would be an undesirable way to transfer a site. But it’s working in this case.
Regardless, I fear that I’ll run into more roadblocks with Yahoo. At that point, the client will need to decide if he wants the flexibility of a regular host or if he’s really happy doing business with Yahoo.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Yahoo Hosting Permalinks FailJames, I’m trying to get my client to let me set him up with a different host, but that doesn’t seem to be gaining any traction.
Thanks for the suggestion to install the MS URL Rewrite Module, but it’s hard to imagine that Yahoo would let me fool around with server settings. (Their tech support isn’t so easy to deal with.)
I did a fresh install of WP via the Yahoo control panel which automatically installs a plugin that fixes the permalinks. But it assumes the site is in its original directory. As my customized site is in a different folder, I copied the file below and installed the plugin in the folder where I have my site and I couldn’t make it work. But I’m posting the code here in case it’s helpful to someone else.

?>Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately it does not appear to have fixed the problem in Internet Explorer. What is there about my page design that provokes the behavior to not focus on the top label? Maybe that is something I can fix in the page design.
Note that since my original post, I purchased the pro version of your plugin.

In reply to: [Calculated Fields Form] how to print form resultsOK, thanks, I’ll give one of these options a try.
Looks like the only change was to add a missing </div>, which I did, and it works now. I made the change directly to the code. When the next version of the plugin is released, will this small change be included?
Thanks for your attention to this!

In reply to: [Calculated Fields Form] how to print form resultsTo clarify my question…
My form contains two page breaks. I want the print function to appear only on the page that appears after the second page break. Specifically, I want to print the summary field.
Can you suggest a way to do that? Is this a function of your pro versions?
(In other words, I don’t want the user to click a print button until the form has been completed.)

In reply to: Text changes styling when pasted to editorI am noticing similar code that appears for no reason, but how I get there is completely different from the OP.
When editing text in the visual editor, then switching to text, I frequently see something like this:
<span style=”font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;”>
It seems to occur when using backspace or enter to create or delete paragraphs (i.e., if this was regular HTML, it would be the same as adding or deleting <p> tags).
I find this behavior in all of the blogs I manage, both on wordpress.com and self-hosted. No matter what the formatting of the page, the line-height is always 1.5em when this happens.
I don’t like to see unnecessary code, and I always remove these span tags when I see them. Why are they there? How can I prevent this from happening?

In reply to: [WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate] ColumnsScottKR, where you have this:
[su_row] [su_column size="1/2"] Content [/su_column] [su_column size="1/2"] Content [/su_column]
I believe you need to end it with [/su_row].

In reply to: [Visual Form Builder] Number in scientific notationMatthew, thank you for responding so quickly. The text field works well for my purposes.
Has anyone figured out how to get the data to display in two (or more) columns?

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] [Theme: Twenty Twelve] nav bar fails in IE8There is something about this theme (or is it my site?) that is throwing it into Compatibility View on IE9 on my Win 7 64-machine.
Note that I have the original Adobe Type 1 fonts installed on this computer, which apparently are not compatible with Windows and IE. The CSS for Twenty Twelve specifies Helvetica (one of the Type 1 fonts) in at least two places.
A few Internet resources urge designers to either delete Helvetica from CSS or at least list Arial first. Otherwise IE 9 breaks.
I tried commenting out the two lines that reference Helvetica, and still IE goes into Compatibility Mode.
(I even get forced into Compatibility when using Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven with this site, so there is either something wrong with my pages or with my browser.)
This is what I’m working on: https://www.india-custom-tours-blog.com/
